Southern Mongolia and the Gobi Desert

:fire: Gobi Desert: A Land of Mystery
The Gobi Desert, one of the world’s most famous deserts, dominates much of Southern Mongolia. It is not just a barren wasteland but a place of hidden oases, dramatic cliffs, and rare wildlife, including the elusive snow leopard and Bactrian camels. The singing sand dunes of Khongoryn Els create an otherworldly atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination.

The Mongolian pika (Ochotona dauurica) is a tiny wild bunny that lives in the vast Mongolian grasslands! :herb::rabbit: Unlike regular rabbits, it has short ears, a round body, and no visible tail, but it’s still part of the rabbit family. :two_hearts:

These little bunnies spend their days munching on grass :sheaf_of_rice: and storing food for the cold winter. :snowflake: Instead of digging burrows, they live in rocky crevices, always alert to danger!
